The 2010 Red Rock Terrace is a stunning Cabernet, exploding with seductive aromas of fresh black cherries, cassis, dusty minerals, anise, violets, smoke, cocoa powder, and a hint of spice. This is rich and velvety, wrapped in polished tannins, showing wonderful depth. It is remarkably balanced and structured, ending with a finish that is super-long and persistent leaving behind dark fruits and minerals. The Red Rock Terrace is a North-facing Vineyard with red tinted soils, high in iron content, which lends itself to the gorgeous mineral character found throughout this Cabernet. This is slightly more approachable then the Volcanic Hill, but certainly still an age-worthy Cabernet that will benefit from some cellaring. (Best 2015-2030) - February, 2014 (JD)
